Thanks for your comments, but this one stuck out. I've put out monthly releases for almost an entire year now. Unless you expect me to magically push out a new release every other week or so (a goal that would be utter madness to try to accomplish for a game like this), I don't see how you could call these releases "infrequent."
I sometimes wonder what non-developers think development and writing is all about how it works in practice. I can assure you that it's not easy and not fast.

I am very new to these Ren'Py games-and I started this one without looking at a walkthrough, because it seems pretty accessible and, well, fun! I just kind of let the game lead me for a couple of weeks, and ran into the investigation, and started to realize (as the "Primrose countdown" dwindled) that....I had probably missed a few things, LOL. (In my defense, I did find out everything for Samarra to confirm things looked bad)
So I peeked at the Walkthrough, and wow, I was a total sluggard-no idea I had so many clues already to use my powers, gain more magic, etc etc. Going to restart and be a lot more aggressive in...uh...doing stuff to...people.
Really enjoying the game so far, thank you!

I've had many jobs over the years (decades, scores) and nobody who hasn't worked that job respects or even understands how much effort goes into doing said job. This is true of any job I expect. Props for being as polite as you were to basic ignorence (not an insult BTW) of your efforts. Just know your fans still love you. Hell if I had the resouces I'd gift you with a whole developer's studio. You couldn't do worse than the big ones and your staff would definitely be more diverse just having you running it. Got to say I doubt any of these people would put up with similar criticisms of their jobs.

yeah it is easily to forget for people that creating your content and then develop your game as wel takes and consumes time a lot specialy for non-deveopers. because pro games are created with a lott of people and teams. but here games are created alone or in a small team.
but hearing saying you releasing monthly release. says to make you are doing great.
becouse creating content , 3d art , 3d models , and after that also develop your game takes a lot of time and a month can be nothing in that. so Bell keep up your great work and i cannot wait seeing your game even further develop.!!!

I probably should have specified releases with enough content worth playing, but I wasn't really trying to drive the point in. I also recognized in the same post that I realize it takes time. It was more of a compliment of wanting more of your content than anything.
Also I may not have an active game released, but that does not mean I do not understand the process of developing. I just choose to spend my time consuming more than producing =p
Well my opinion doesn't matter much, the game is already rated high. Regardless I expected it to be bad just like most of the medieval fantasy themed games on this site, but surprisingly it has a lot of polish both as gameplay and story.
I absolutely love the crime and puzzle solve mechanics on this game and it ties in well with the rest of the game. And having that little pixie companion commenting on what you do the entire game gives the game a personality. She is funny

I have to say after playing this through it is by far one of my favorite games here.
The story - probably one of the most complete stories on here that is both filled with mystery and desire. Love the story.
Graphics - well done the only complaint and it’s minor for me is the sexual animations could be polished a bit to make it smother and more complete. Voice acting would be omg amazing in this one.
Overall it’s an amazing game and left me wanting to play more. Cannot wait until next update.

Belle you know people love your game when they want releases every week lol.
Having said that I never mind waiting for content like this. I have been writing fantasy for a long time (wish I could do the art sigh) and to make a great story it takes time, inspiration, and a great attention to detail.
In short your doing a fantastic job as fantasy is near and dear to my heart and this is wonderful.

There is no such thing as filling up the clue box. It's got infinite space and merely adds new pages when the current one is full.

Thnx Belle for your fast response and wonderfull game.
Sure i expected that the clue box has more space than clues and that with every update new clues
can be find (alythough i hope ;-) )
but because i am an old school gamer i want to explore games and found things out for myself instead off following a walktrough.
Now i am just curious if iu found everything what supposed to be found but i still have open windows in the clue
box book.
i can imagine that they just remain in this version but i could be possibele that in this version they all shoud be filled up
, so thats why i asked.
forget how to make a spoiler
so i thumbnail instead
the other page from clue book is full
talking about v1.11c

I just told you that there's no such thing as filling up the clue box. I wasn't lying to you.
Btw, you appear to have more than one page of clues in your game, if you haven't already noticed. Use the arrows on the sides to browse them.

How should I know? I can't tell that from a screenshot of one page in your clue list. Just check the walkthrough if you're uncertain.
